Moving on with the finest Kalymnos churches, we should not leave out Agios Savvas. This temple is located right on top of Pothia on a hill, overlooking the Aegean and the rest of the island, mainly the valley of Pothia. It is made of stone and red tiles, creating a mesmeric image. Agios Savvas is the patron of Kalymnos, which explains why this church (or better monastery) is so popular.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Then, it is the Monastery of Agioi Pantes. It resembles Agios Savvas and for a very good reason. This is where Agios Savvas confined himself, before becoming a Saint. It is found very close to Agios Savvas church and even the architecture is similar. The roofs are red tiled too, although the walls are white in color. As you may have guessed, the view here is also breathtaking.<\/p>\n
